The Art and Science of Ball Drilling
In the world of bowling, the perfect drilling of a ball can make all the difference in your game. We take this task seriously, using both traditional industry-standard techniques and incorporating new scientific insights. Every ball that comes into our shop is manually weighed before and after drilling. This meticulous process allows us to maintain the ball’s balance and integrity, ensuring it performs consistently on the lanes.
Understanding the Ball’s PAP
One of the critical aspects of our drilling process is checking the ball’s Positive Axis Point (PAP). By determining the PAP, we ensure that the ball’s drilling layout complements your unique bowling style. This attention to detail is not just about precision; it’s about personalization. We believe that every bowler is unique, and their equipment should reflect that.
Customized Hand Fit for Peak Performance
At The Corner Pro Shop, we don’t just drill holes; we create custom fits. We understand that the natural movement of your joints is crucial for high performance on the lanes. Our fitting process takes into account the individual characteristics of your hand, ensuring a grip that is both comfortable and effective. This custom fit translates into better control, more power, and ultimately, higher scores.
